“Seven Nation Army” made a beachhead in American sports in State College, Penn. According to a 2006 story in the Harrisburg Patriot-News, Penn State spokesperson Guido D’Elia—who is still the director of communications and branding for the embattled football program—was inspired by hearing a Public Radio International story about A.S. Roma’s use of the song.

Weird, who knew Guido would actually work with the Blue Band. Overall though, he still needs to go and I think “Seven Nation Army” does too. I love it as much as any one but –ohhh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohhh-ohhh well that is something Ohio State does now too and it makes sense there. We don’t need to be chanting the first letter of a rival. It doesn’t need to go as much as Rock n’ Roll Part II of course.

IT SEEMS A LOT MORE REAL now that we have seen the team in action. However, some are still not really convinced that after so much waiting, D.C. baseball is finally happening. I understand where they are coming from, I think I will know it is all official when I see Jose Guillen or Cristan Guzman saying “where your job is your credit” in an Easterns Automotive TV spot.
